Debrief to Win: Fighter Pilot Lessons for Landscaping Leaders

What do fighter pilots know about leadership that most landscape business owners miss?

Turns out—a lot.

In this episode of The Landscaper’s Guide, Jack Jostes sits down with Cujo Teschner, retired Air Force fighter pilot and author of Debrief to Win, live from the Bach Business Partners Summit. They talk about the kind of accountability that actually inspires high-performing teams, and how landscaping business owners can apply military-grade clarity, coaching, and vulnerability to scale smarter and stronger.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• ✈️ Why fear-based accountability fails—and what works instead
• 📉 How embracing failure leads to stronger, faster growth
• 🧠 The real reason Top Gun got debriefing all wrong (and what to do instead)

If you’re ready to build a high-trust crew that performs under pressure, this episode is your flight plan.
